i'm screwed!

[ProblemKinder]

ok, two questions. number one, does anybody know the size of the screws that attatch the annoying metal pieces to the RT Pro rail? I would like to fill them with something other than the allen screws that came with it.

second, is there a "reverse tap"? meaning instead of tapping something so that it can be "screwed into" can i tap a small metal rod so that it can screw into other things?

in other words i want to create the mail part of a screw, not the female part.

You mean a 'dye'.

I dont recall the thread size off the top of my head, maybe 8/32.. im sure someone will correct me if im wrong.

Ace Hardware has the right diameter pan head screws to attach the foregrip and sight rail to an RT Pro rail. They are just a hair to long in length though.

You mean "die" as in tap and die... If you get a dye instead it'll be laser engraved and cost 200% of the other one.

i'll give 8/32 a try! thanks. :headbang:

that is the correct size.

If you are just looking to fill the holes left from removing the sight and foregrip mounts on an RT rail you can use 8/32 set screws (they have an allen head). I forget the length but I'm sure 1/8" 8/32 set screws will do the trick.

Hardware stores will likely have them. G/L!

It's not 8/32" (that would be 1/4" ;) ), the thread size you are after is #8-32.

Ask for "Number eight thirty two" set screws if you don't want a head showing, or pan/button head cap screws if you want what it came with, or socket head cap screws if you want a flat topped cylindrical head.

:cheers:

You could always just fill the hole with PIE!
